My 6 year FC project

WE3RX7 · 08-29-2010, 09:45 PM

Yet another non-entertaining update. My main project hasn't been touched in about two months now. Baby stuff took over and its been hectic ever since, in a good way. With about 65% of the home projects (building a nursery, fence, etc) I'm looking forward to more time with my main FC in the fall.

I've given it some thought and it looks like the body parts will go into the basement for the winter and I'll hold off on the bodywork until yet another year (spring '11).

My quest for the perfect interior has turned a full 180 back to my original plan of not installing interior at all. I like the "idea" of interior but the "function" loses me for a track car. All this car will have is the dash, seats, center console and custom door cards. The rest of the interior will be soaked up by a cage and fuel equipment, coolers, etc. IF I decide to do interior later down the road, I can add it in around the safety equipment, etc.

So... why do ask do I keep saying my "main FC"

Behold the new beater...

1987 Bone stock sport model. I put some vert wheels on it today with newer rubber and its all set. Plan is to just drive this until its dead with no real modifications. I want to park the RX8 for the winter and focus on my main FC, lol.

The nice touch here is that this car is also fairly straight w/ little rust so when I complete my main FC, SHOULD I put it in a wall or otherwise total it, I'll have a nice transferable path to this one.

And yes, I still have the 1990 coupe, please... somebody take it away, lol!!!
